time on that and it probably shows i i like those songs because they're historical they're a part of my story but i wouldn't hold them up and say these are great pieces of art or something that i really struggled with they were just like some some goofy songs that i wrote when i was very young

My Bologna was the first – Forgive me. It was the first one that – yeah, it was a big hit on the Demento show. It wasn't the first thing of mine he played. But like in the early days, I would send him tapes in the mail and he'd play them on the radio. And I would call up the request line and try to disguise my voice and request my own songs. Yeah. and have people from my high school do the same.

Well, I didn't take it to parties or anything like that. Maybe I would play it in the school talent show. But it wasn't something I mean, I joke about that being the life of the party, but I didn't really force it on people. Sometimes if people came over and they wanted to hear me play, I would play for them. But it wasn't something that I forced on people too often.

I took my comfort in comedy and music. I mean, you know, I was inspired by Monty Python and SCTV and musically all the songs I was hearing on the Dr. Demento show and on rock radio.

So, you know, my dad used to say that the only real sign of success is being able to make a living doing the thing you love. So if, you know, if I didn't, you know, have a 40 year career, I still feel like a success because I've just been, you know, able to make a living doing specifically the things I love. So that's I always am so thankful for that.

And I guess in retrospect, it was a pretty scary time because, you know, my whole future was ahead of me.
